joins us live from the norwegian capital by skype. thank you very much for being with us. what. what do you think the significance is of the statement by obama med? well it's, it's quite to him surprising and unprecedented. that the sitting head of government it claimed to go to the front line himself to lead the war from the, from the front. and i think it is assign hope for that doc will also mobilize other it your bins to join the military forces to join the war against the decree and defense forces. but certainly it is also a sign of desperation. we know that that again, forces are advancing on the capital. they are about 200 kilometers north of this up above as we speak. and so far over the last 4 months, their advancement has been steady, improving day by day. so i mean that all of this is in the context,

have been no attempts at, you know, the mountains and so on, of mediation toward some kind of resolution of the conflict. what kind of progress is they on that front? well, if we have seen an intensification of the diplomatic shuttle diplomacy over the last couple of weeks, the former president of nigeria or bahama, is heading the african union effort. and also, coordinating somehow with all the international see, has been going both to macula, but so far there are no tangible results in clear, you know, hope for a succession of hostility. so cease fire agreement. and the parties are too far apart to agree on that. but there are still intense burk to try to negotiate some kind of settlement, all of the conflict. i mean, you mentioned that this move by the, by the, i meant to, to say that he was going to the front, his son of desperation. is it also a kind of negotiating position you think?

not. why don't see it like that, and i think it is. it aimed at his home constituency, obviously, to mobilize them office to sacrifice themself at the battle. france, it is aimed also for a pan african audience. he is calling in that statement for african solidarity that you will be up and are framing that degree and resistance as kind of when an imperialist war, that the claiming that they are backed by on foreigners. so it is also to rally and an african base for he's war against figured i would people be listening to him when they will, they taken notice what certainly has a huge popularity among sections over the population in this other bar and urban areas in the region and so that might many, we look upon this as a very bold initiative, obviously that he is leading the war from the front and not from his office in the palace. i think him many we'll also see through it as empty rhetoric away as

also as a sign of desperation and doctor this will not lead to and the constructive solution to the current ongoing war. and in the meantime, i suppose there is still a humanitarian crisis. there's and then we've had talking of rhetoric noodles have been a lot rhetoric from say the un, whatever warning was you know, disaster. and that if it continues, it's going to disable the horn of africa on what practical step saw that from the international community to, to make a difference in ethiopia. well, certainly there is a human italian crisis. it is star ration ongoing as we speak. dozens of children are dying into guy every day, over lack of food and medicines that are hundreds of thousands of people into starving. there are also hundreds of thousands of people affected the heart of the state and offer the state of displacement, of lack of food and shelter. and so this war has huge humanitarian ramifications in

the us system. and unitarian agencies are trying to negotiate access to ticket. but you know, since 18th of october, no human a tarion and supplies have been delivered in t guy. everything is blocked by the federal government or the offer regional state government. so it is kind of the international community on their hands are locked, so to say they're not able to move forward with that very, very important mission to deliver food a, to the starving population illness, diplomatic side. again, since the federal government is reluctant to accept the pre conditions of opening up for humanitarian aid, before talks can begin. this seems to be a deadlock there to getting turn fall. thank you very much. again, we appreciate your nasa. thank you. ugandan security forces have

but for the 1st time, on monday, the foreign ministry spokesperson jolly jan, acknowledged knowing anything about it. firstly, he said that this was not a diplomatic issue. and then he pointed the media to the fact that she had made several public appearances in recent days. now it was a very short answer. there was no mention of any concerns raised about her well being from the u. s. the un france, etc. and also no mention at all of any of the sexual allegations originally made by puncture online against the former chinese vice premier john godly. now as to these public appearances that he mentioned, the house seemed to be a flurry of activity online, reported primarily by chinese state media. and usually there were pictures of her posted at home, a video of her at a restaurant with her coach and some friends in beijing on, on the weekend. and also her attending a childrens tennis tournament on sunday morning,

shortly before her highly publicized call with the head of the i o. c. thomas book on sunday afternoon. now for many though, including for the women's tennis association, these legit appearances have raised more questions than provided on says and certainly the one is the women's tennis association says that they are still concerned about her well being and that they have not been able to independently contact her or get access to her. and meanwhile, this is playing out while there remains a complete censorship blackout on all things related to puncture. why on chinese state media and chinese social media. a tie court has denied bail to several activists who took part in protest last year, calling for reform of the monarchy. a decision follows a constitutional court ruling last week, which deem that just questioning the rollover monarchy is a crime. 20 chang reports from bangkok. ah, police shoot rubber bullets directly,
